Collision Course?

During the recent sailboat regatta on Fern Ridge Lake, I noticed several other boats going pretty fast, at times fairly close to the large number of sailboats. In this photo the sailboats are just out of the picture frame. I was shooting with a 500mm lens, so the boats no doubt appear closer than they really were. But if I was out there I would want them as far apart as possible. :)

Yes, doesn't look like a good race to be having - though I'm sure that isn't really their intention. I like the way your shot tells a story and raises questions.

It does look dangerous with this long focal length.
